Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Spezia to Win or Draw – 1.59
Spezia are undefeated at home since the start of the 2022/23 season in Serie A winning one and drawing another one of their two matches. Bologna meanwhile have two points from two draws and two defeats.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3 Goals – 1.55
In the combined eight matches played in Serie A this season by Spezia and Bologna, seven of them produced under three goals. In addition, the last two h2h meetings also ended with three or fewer goals.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Correct Score 1-1 – 6.00
The possibility for a draw in this match is 20% which is the same as a Bologna win and 10% less than a Spezia win. Bologna’s two of four matches this season ended with this result, while five times last season both teams’ matches ended by a 1-1 result.

Spezia
With their previous round defeat away to Juventus by 2-0, Spezia extended their winless run to three since the start of the season. The Little Eagles opened their season with a fine win at home over Empoli but failed to capitalize on it.
One positive for coach Luca Gotti is the fact that his team is undefeated at the Stadio Alberto Pico and could have made it two wins had they hung on to their lead against Sassuolo. Spezia are 13th on the Serie A table with four points.
Bologna
It hasn’t been a good start for Bologna in the new season and it seems they will be hanging around the bottom ranks for long periods of time. The Gialloblu are currently 16th joining a host of four teams with two points. That’s five points fewer than Bologna had picked up last season after four rounds.
The main difference for Sinisa Mihajlovic’s team is the fact that they are unable to win a game something they had done twice last season at this stage. Hence, it is essential to travel to La Spezia with the intention of grabbing all three points as they did last time in 2021.
The bookies are favoring Bologna to win this game but we have another opinion that says that Spezia will be tough to beat at the Alberto Picco Stadium. Hence, we prefer to back a double chance of a home win or draw for Sunday’s match.
Combining a draw and both teams scoring in this match lands you 4.4 times return of your stake at 22Bet. To justify, according to the stats, there is a 60% chance that we will see goals from both teams and it also happened in three of their last four h2h meetings.
